According to the Australian Immigration Book, it is estimated that there are 1,100 franchise systems in Australia. A franchise can provide a unique economic opportunity for many people searching for successful business ideas: for roughly the same investment as starting an independent small business, a franchisee receives everything from extensive training to a successful business reputation, two factors that make it easier to promote a small business.

But what small business franchise opportunities are proven to be profitable? Depending on your interests, the answer may be a coffee van franchise.

According to Business Insider, the coffee industry is worth an estimated $100 billion U.S. dollars worldwide. After crude oil, coffee is the most sought-after commodity in the entire world. Coffee is socially valued, and also offers a number of potential health benefits: for example, American researchers have found that drinking between one and four cups of coffee a day can drastically reduce the risk of cirrhosis of the liver. But whatever the cause, coffee is a growing industry: according to Datamonitor, for every seven cups of coffee consumed by the average Australian, one is consumed out-of-home, either at a coffee shop or mobile coffee van.

Currently, the International Baccalaureate Information System, or IBIS, reports that there are an estimated 84,867 people employed by the Australian coffee industry. IBIS also reports that there are an estimated 6,613 coffee businesses throughout the country. However, coffee shops are one of the fastest growing industries in the world, with an annual growth of 7%, creating a potentially profitable opportunity for mobile cafe businesses such as coffee van franchises. Mobile coffee vans in particular are popular at public events, but can also attract a high volume of pedestrian traffic and repeat customers. If you are interested in joining a growing industry with a variety of interesting opportunities, research coffee franchise opportunities, such as coffee van franchises, today.

Why are health nuts putting oil and butter into their coffee? Right now, coffee franchise opportunities are everywhere -- and they're getting increasingly creative (and sometimes even a little bizarre), too! From mixing coffee with oil and butter, combining some of people's favorite beverages, and providing coffee on-the-go, people all over the world are changing what it means to enjoy coffee.

According To Some, Oil, Coffee, and Butter Mix

In Australia alone, the coffee industry is worth more than $5 billion. Now, research shows the coffee and health food industries may be coming together. Fans of CrossFit and the Paleo diet are embracing a new, very unique cup of Joe. What's in it? "Eight ounces of hot drip coffee, one teaspoon of grass-fed unsalted butter, and one teaspoon of MCT-rich coconut oil. Then you froth the combination, which does give it a lovely, velvety texture," The Phoenix New Times explains. "However, by mid-cup, you definitely know that you're drinking butter." The concoction allegedly spikes energy, aids digestion, serves as a meal replacement, and avoids any eventual caffeine crash.

Wait For Your Coffee to Come to You

Are you busy working? No problem! Mobile coffee shop franchises, such as mobile coffee vans, are sweeping across Australia, Europe, and the U.S. These convenient franchises bring your morning cup of coffee straight to you, saving you the trip and/or the need of sacrificing your 15-minute break. Mobile coffee shop franchises brew and sell traditional and specialty coffees, such as lattes and espresso. (Although 70% of coffee is traditional arabica, people all over the globe still drink 14 billion cups of espresso per year.)

Want Wine And Coffee? Now You Can Have Both At The Same Time

Perhaps one of the most unique new coffee franchises offers a mixture of coffee and wine in a single beverage. According to a news release, the coffee wine "features a rich flavor of cabernet grapes, espresso coffee, and a hint of chocolate."

Franchises all over the world are offering consumers new and exciting ways to drink coffee. Some are bringing coffee directly to their customers, combining it with butter and natural oils, or even mixing it with red wine.

Coffee has a wide range of health benefits; drinking coffee has been linked to increased cognitive function, stress reduction, and even long-term health benefits.

One California mother is helping to bridge this gap, releasing a line of cold treats with servings of vegetables and all-natural ingredients (no preservatives or chemicals!) only. Create food franchises offering healthy options for children, and you are likely to go far.
